Hey All! I am trying to decide if I want to incubate eggs this spring or have some of my Silkies naturally hatch their own babies.? What do you all do? What are the pros and cons? I am just not sure what is right for me this coming year! I have not hatched my own babies before...

Any chance she got into a substance that's poision?

It is very hard to lose one of your chicken friends. I completely understand. I hope you find some peace soon. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I have some baby chicks that I got from a hatchery. They are one week old today. One night, I noticed one of the chicks just opening and closing its mouth all the time. I wasn't sure what she was doing. But she continued to eat and drink normally. The next day, when I got home from work she was...

I read somewhere that Silkies are about 6months or older when they start laying typically. Very much unlike other larege breeds of chickens.

I have a little white pullet that has started to go downhill. She was upbeat and active. Now she is mopey and can't sit up well. A few days ago, I noticed her acting funny. I went and inspected her right away. I noticed mites on her. I treated her for mites, but she still was pretty bad. I...

Woo Hoo! Silkies are great!

Trim all her feathers around her vent short So that way, her feces isn't getting stuck. Then give her a bath with dawn dish soap. Bc its so hot right now, its probably ok to let her air dry.

I am going to start building a new coop over the next couple of months. I was thinking about accumulating pieces here and there. Any suggestions where I can get cheap supplies for this new project of mine? Suggestions would be MUCH appreciated! I want to try to keep the cost as low as I possibly...

LOL It's an addiction!

I have 12 Silkies. One of them, just started acting mopey and with closer inspection, I was seeing very tiny white bugs on her face and head. I looked this up in my chicken health book, but with no pictures... or a real description of what they look like, I am at a loss. I think its some sort of...

Pretty!!! Ya'll did a great job!! :)

That is very strange. But I have come up with nothing, as well. I am sorry to hear about your poor little chicken.

Any suggestions? I'm just not sure.

I think its a cockerel. By looking how tall it stands, its stants, and the tail feathers... I'm almost sure you have a little cockerel. But you won't know for sure until he Crows!

Here are my 4 new baby Silkies. This baby is either Blue or Black.. I can't really tell. I'm hoping for Blue This is a little Buff baby. I think this is a little porcelain baby! This is my first little Paint baby.
